Tw: Dennis is openly gay after leaving home but Robby is still in the closet, same age Hucklerobby, young Slavic man trying to reason with feelings.
@rjs-tmblr
- Robby knew the moment he had to do rotations with Dennis he would have to pray to whatever God there was he would survive without fist fighting the dude, at least for a day. Perhaps his entire rotation time, but he was never an optimist. He just couldn't stand him for whatever reason, maybe it was the way Dennis seemed to easily fit in with patients while he on the other hand had to force out these people to talk to him.
- He just couldn't sport a smile all day like Dennis, he wasn't as soft as Dennis or easy going, he wasn't as trusting of the other staff as Dennis. And it pissed Robby off because he could just fit in like Dennis seemed to. Robby was like a square trying to fit into a circular hole. He was qualified but too jagged.
- He couldn't help that the desire to give his grandmother a better life had gotten him through school. He had to make a life for himself to take care of her, repay her for all that she had done to make him survive into becoming a man, but he seemed so out of place with everyone.
- He was jealous of Dennis, bitterly jealous, a feud he started to distance the fact that he felt so... intrigued by his nature. He was in a one-sided war with Dennis and he didn't even know it until Robby started taking his patients. Put notes over Dennis's charts correcting something, like an agonizing presence trying to get rid of him.
- Dennis didn't take too kindly to Robby's sharp comments or glares throughout the day, he had done nothing wrong... maybe Robby had figured out he was gay. That could be the only explanation for how hostile he was being... Dennis couldn't back down though, he hadn't left Nebraska just to be a wimp in the face of a grumpy med student who had it out for him.
- Robby did know Dennis was gay, Dennis was exactly subtle. He also was jealous of that, how Dennis didn't care about what others thought and he just... loved. Robby could never afford that privilege, to be open about his attraction to men... what would his little left of his family he already had think about it all...
- Dennis fought back, he would be tooth-rotting sweet to Robby, in an annoying way to see his eye twitch. Calling Robby Dr. Even though they both knew he wasn't, he would tell all his patients to check in with Dr. Robby before leaving. This left Robby constantly surrounded by people talking to him at all times.
- Robby would get all flustered and Dennis would just laugh from afar. Hoping this would cause Robby to finally call a truce or at least stop picking on him, Dennis lingered after his shift was over just to see if Robby would say anything. Leaning against the lockers checking his pager to see if his ride was there yet.
- Everything the other did got a retaliation, something just bad enough to not get bosses or supervisors involved but it was noticeable to everyone in the ED who had interacted with at least one of them. Ruined lunches, ink all over scrubs, petty things. Stupid things only two people who had no idea why the other was angry in the first place did.
- The cycle continued for weeks, then months. Bets were placed to see who would break first and fight the other man. Bets on who would win the fight. And a single placed bet made by a young nurse named Dana who said they would end up together before the year was over.
- No one believed she was serious. But no one else saw what she did, saw the lingering looks, the physical closeness. And how if someone else did the same things Robby did, to Dennis, she was positive there would be a broken nose. She could see everything the others couldn't, even Robby and Dennis themselves.
- Maybe if they asked her they would have known that when Robby finally confronted Dennis in the locker room, it would have ended in sloppy heated kissing after a yelling match. One where Robby hadn't even thought to do, he just did, just... felt. Like he had been trying to do since the start of their feud. Trying to get whatever sunshine had stuck to Dennis.
- Robby stood there for a moment, tasting the sweet coffee Dennis had been drinking all day. But then it felt too real, Robby stormed off before Dennis could process it. Leaving Dennis's heart beating out of his chest and a new plan forming in his head... maybe all this anger was to cover up for something. Something that Dennis could help him figure out so he wouldn't be so grumpy... and Dennis really needed some company.
- After that kiss, everything shifted, it was no longer petty pranks or rude staring, it felt personal now. The looks got longer, Dennis would stand closer, poking at Robby's patience by bumping into him. It was a silent war, no words to communicate how they were feeling, what they were.
- All Robby knew was that he couldn't stop his hands from shaking whenever Dennis was too far away. That he only felt peaceful if he was right next to him, because Dennis always seemed so sure that things would go well. Always seemed steady... everything Robby needed. Robby needed him.... and Dennis needed Robby.
- Dennis needed his assertiveness in the face of rude patients. How Robby never asked him questions about why he did things just accepted them. Never questioned why Dennis always took extra food or slept in the break room... He wouldn't just sit next to him while he napped, shooing everyone out who tried to wake up Dennis.
- Dana won the bet after Dennis walked in wearing Robby's sweater and Robby was trailing behind him looking actually happy for once. The fight was over in a treaty, and now the bets turned to who would admit they were together first.
- Sure people talked, said something negative about being gay, but it was met with the most demonic stare you'd ever see from Robby. And it would shut them up real quick. Robby wouldn't let someone ruin the first relationship he had ever been in. Not now that he had Dennis Locker in his grasp.

Tw: This is going to be fluffy, with no actual description of violence. I'm feeling sweet :3
- Dennis and Robby had been officially together for 5 months now, and they are actually better at hiding it than you may think. Robby has been through many work relationships and knows how to respect Dennis's career, so in case they break up, nothing would change and they could continue to work in the ED and cohabitate. Just like with Dr. Collins... well not just like hopefully...
- No one knows because Dennis wanted to wait and tell everyone on his birthday since he planned a big party and invited everyone to come. Robby found it sweet that the boy wanted to share his day with him, and that's one of the reasons he's been so careful not to show anyone. No his sweet boy will get whatever he wants no matter how odd or silly. If Dennis wanted Robby to wear a shirt with Dennis's face on it he would.
- This didn't stop Robby from admiring the view at work, he watched Dennis from afar with a smile on his face. Eyes always trailing him making sure he's okay, he's fed, he's safe. The boy was a natural with patients anyway, so Robby wasn't too worried about an incident. But you could never be too cautious, even watching him stutter over his words with an uncooperative patient was cute.
- Robby had been more focused on Dennis than his own safety, not keeping his eye on a patient who was being a little fidgety so he could spot those calming brown eyes. So it was no surprise when a man, who had yet to be given a room and was lying in the hallway lunged at him, he wasn't as prepared as he should have been. They both tumbled to the floor causing a commotion, a struggle on the floor in the middle of the ED, everyone turned to look.
- "MICHAEL!" Dennis yelled as he and the security guards ran over to break it up. Robby had no injuries, maybe a few bruises on his arm and back from the fall but Dennis was too worked up over it to really care. He dragged Robby to a chair to fuss over him, checking for a concussion or any scratches. The rest of the ED was focused on the patient who had now been handcuffed to his bed and was wheeled away from everyone.
- Dennis and Robby were behind the nurses' station. Tucked away so Dennis could check under his shirt for bruises. Dennis only stopped fussing over Robby after he pulled him in for a quick kiss and pinky promised he was okay. Dennis left to get something for Robby to drink. Robby's eyes tracked Dennis until he was out of sight. This earned an eyebrow raise from Trinity who had caught the whole thing, well more than an eyebrow raised she had side-eyed them hard. Spoke a few words to Perlah and Princess before she marched over to Robby.
- "You got something to tell me Robinavitch? Maybe something about how I just saw you sucking face with my bestie?" Trinity asked hands on her hips as she looked him up and down. This caused everyone to turn and look at Robby expectantly. Now realizing that Dennis had called Robby by his first name, which he never allowed anyone to do... not to mention the whole kissing part.
- Robby blushed a little and cleared his throat, not knowing what to say, he really wanted Dennis to have his big moment... but he also didn't want to lie and make it seem like he was undermining their relationship. They were very serious, Robby had even given him a key to his house a week ago... so he just said the first thing that came to mind.
- "I was just thanking Dennis for his concern." Robby blurted out and immediately regretted it as Trinity took a step back looking at him suspiciously, as if she didn't believe it. So he doubled down for his sweet Dennis's sake. "Seriously, in Jewish culture it is customary to kiss as thanks, to show your connection with them." Robby was lying through his teeth but he kept a serious face to push the point.
- Trinity's eyes widened and she shook her head. "Remind me never to help you out if that's how you repay it..." A few people laughed as they started to get back to work, poking some light-hearted fun at Robby for his 'traditional' action. Dana even asked Dennis when he came back if he needed to tell a trusted adult about Robby.
- Dennis laughed it off, Robby felt even more embarrassed his face bright pink. But Dennis gave Robby the sweetest big puppy dog eyes ever, mouthing a thank you. And suddenly Robby didn't care about being laughed at, all he cared about was that his boyfriend was happy... he knew he was going to get smothered in cuddles when they got home for protecting the secret.

Tw: traumatized? Dennis, Dennis never felt seen, suggestive language, age gap yaoi, omega/alpha, abo dynamics, pregnancy :3
Jack knew he needed Dennis the moment he saw the boy in the ED. He had worked almost 18 hours, but his scenes were just as sharp as they had been in his youth, and they were telling him his mate was here. With tired eyes he spotted a new omega in the building, he was slightly shorter than Jack but the way he was tucked into himself made him look a lot smaller. Cute brown hair, and big eyes that looked too big for someone working in the ED and not a patient.
The moment Jack smelled that nervous scent he was done for, there was no such thing as fated mates... but Jack sure felt like there was. Could just taste it on his tongue as he stayed around for a few more moments to catch his name... Dennis Whitaker. Soon to be the omega that will be tucked away in Jack's house, metaphorically of course... Jack couldn't keep such a cute face all to himself all day and he was sure the boy was serious about this job anyway.
Dennis was almost comically skittish, not afraid but very cautious about everything. Noises, smells, hell even the food they served in the cafeteria was up to his squinting eyes. Jack liked it all though, he liked a boy who was cautious, hard to train that into pampered omegas. No, Jack got to do the opposite, train the pampered life into Dennis. He liked the challenge and he was sure the reward would be even better.
Jack had courted many people in his time even alphas back in his service days. He was picky with what he gave them, not starting the courting until he knew exactly what they would like, after days of observing in silence of course. Jack was a patient man when it came to things he wanted, he could wait out storms with only his mind to keep him company. This was a cake walk.
It took only a week before Jack gave his first gift, which was a blue pencil holder to put in his pocket after he saw the poor boy struggling to hold all his things while writing notes. He left it in Dennis's locker without a word, just the trace of his scent, a subtle claim. The next day he saw the boy wearing it when he came in early just to... check up on people. But all Jack could do was puff up his chest all day like a peacock, proud that his gift was liked.
Dennis wasn't oblivious to courting rituals, but he couldn't wrap his head around someone doing it to him. He had always been in the background of his life, never unique compared to people around him just average. He had a big family and Dennis was unlucky enough to be born in the middle, always just part of the crowd of people around the farm. So having someone seek him out was... new.
He noticed Jack, who couldn't, but he was strong and confident. He was someone, he mattered a lot to people, Dennis liked watching him work... Liked how he smelled so comforting... But Dennis kept his distance, admiring from afar, he was far too new to being alone to be thinking about someone new coming into his life... especially after he had to start camping out in the abandoned hospital wing.
He thought Jack's courting would stop and he would be left with nice gifts, and Jack wouldn't have to deal with Dennis long term, a win-win for everyone. But it continued... more gifts, more food, and eventually Dennis got a shirt of Jack's. It was old and worn... Fuck, it was so nice... Like a hug Dennis always wanted but never got...
After that it didn't take long before Dennis warmed up to the Alpha, allowing him into his personal space, staying near each other even after Dennis should have been long gone by then after the shift. This was the sign Jack needed, that the boy had fully accepted the courting. Jack also was insatiable, cooing at the boy and wrapping an arm around him to scent him any chance he got, not caring who was there to see it.
That's also how Jack found out Dennis was living in the ED, he smelt Dennis and followed him, worried Dennis had gotten hurt. Only to find it with a sorry excuse for a nest and a cold shower, he fixed that quickly. Taking the boy to his home without a chance of complaining or excuses, no mate of his would be staying somewhere so... uncomfortable. No he would be safe in Jack's house with a lot of food and all the nesting materials he would ever dream of. The poor omega deserves it, he wants to pamper him till all Dennis can do is lie around... preferably pregnant but Jack could wait for that...
And by wait he means wait to see how long it takes for him to breed Dennis full of his pups.
Dennis looked so cute fussing over Jack's bed. Fixing things until it was perfect, looking at Jack to make sure he was getting it right. Everyone could see the difference in Dennis already, the light in his eyes, the smile on his face. And his healthy weight gain. Yeah, Jack was doing great, so great that Dennis's heat triggered for the first time in... years.
No worries Jack was there to take care of him.
Dennis ignored it for as long as he could, he ignored the signs when he made the nest bigger. Ignored when he would rub his tummy after a nice meal whose portions were starting to get too big to be regular. The way Dennis wanted to cuddle more, wanted to groom the people in the ED, plucking off dog hairs, fixing scrubs making Dennis purr when he sees his Pittlings looking presentable.
He bought the pregnancy test with Trinity, not thinking it would be true. Dennis couldn't be pregnant, they had used condoms during his heat after Dennis had had a panic attack over it... at least he thought they used them the whole time... he couldn't really remember past when clothes started coming off...
Dennis stared at those 2 lines pink lines on the stick as they had personally wronged him... and in a way they had. This was physical proof of a connection to Jack, the most a person can be connected without being physically tethered together. A metaphorical tether to the alpha... no Dennis could do that... he can't have this after he had fought so hard to get his freedom, his sanity...
He couldn't believe this, his own body was betraying him. His own body was trying to keep him trapped again... Dennis had to run. Dennis had to get out of here before it was too late. Before he was just kept inside, barely seen, not heard, and never thought about again... his heart wanted to believe Jack wouldn't do that, but he couldn't risk it. No Dennis needed to put his safety and his new pups' safety first.
Dennis left without a trace, took nothing but his money, and left on a train while Jack was at work....
Safe to say Jack was not happy, no he was fucking pissed. He could smell the pup growing in Dennis, waiting for the boy to tell him himself so they could discuss things. Not expecting the damn omega to run away with the wind. Fuck... that's okay. Dennis is just confused and needs Jack to come save him. Poor thing just doesn't know safety, it's okay Jack wasn't mad at him, no at the people that made him think he needed to run away with Jack's pup.
Dennis didn't make it far just to a motel before Jack caught up to him. A bribe to the front desk worker got Jack a key to the room Dennis was in. Dennis leaped on the bed, scared to see Jack in the doorway to the room. His eyes were wild and he smelled like burt cedarwood, Dennis had never seen an alpha so angry...
But Jack just closed the door calmly and cornered Dennis.
"It's okay baby... I know you're scared but you're mine. You and the pup. Can't be running away now." Jack told him grabbing the back of Dennis's neck and scenting the heavy angry scent he had all over him. When he was satisfied he nipped at Dennis's neck earning him a yelp from the boy, and watery eyes.
"Hush now, you'll come to understand life is better with me pretty boy. I'll show you off, and you can start working nights to be with me more." Dennis looked at him with confusion. "I won't have to stop working..? I won't be hidden away..?" Jack chuckled and pulled him into his chest.
"No pretty boy. Don't be silly, you and my baby are getting the world."
Doesn't matter how far Robby is Dennis will always find a way to be there for him : 3
I was requested to make it extra long, so I hope you'll enjoy it!

Tw: Spoilers for Pitt season 2!!, Coarse language, Robby having self-deprecating thoughts, hurt and comfort, TRANS DENNIS, guilt over the age gap, idiots in love, baby fever, self-masturbation, eventual smut, slow burn?
Story under the cut ;3
Robby was making his last rounds over everyone, his bag was packed and he was finally ready to leave. He had a few things to tell Dennis about his house and maybe he wanted the kid to ask him to stay. But he seemed so content when Amy came to get him that he stopped himself, and just waved goodbye, a small part of him was jealous but not in a good way. Not about Dennis having Amy and Theo to look after...
No he was jealous that they got Dennis's time and effort, he wished he had that. Wished he could spend hours just listening to him talk or to be around him without someone trying to die, hell he would invite Dennis out for a drink or two. But he was bubbling his age and he was sure Dennis had better things to do than watch an old man drink and yell at the sports channel they had on.
Robby went back in mopingly, ready to hug Jack and leave, but he stopped as he spotted Paedes. Looking through the window he saw Baby Jane Doe all alone, and he smirked a little. The irony was not lost on him that he was also feeling that lonely. He couldn't stop but just go in and check on her for a moment, maybe hold her so she didn't feel so alone... because he might need it too.
It was hard to set Baby Jane Doe down, she was so small and warm. Fitting into the crook of Robby's neck and arms, he had spent a long minute holding her, talking to her. Feeling her soft, innocent nature soothes something in his heart for a moment. The sweet baby cooed at him, yawned in her swaddle, as if she were trying to steal his heart from his chest. He could understand why someone might have left her, but he knew he could never have, even if he was just as fucked up as he is now.
He wished he had a kid, could close his eyes and pretend for a moment that she was his baby... but maybe it was for the best he was alone, he could just as well have fucked up said imaginary kid as much as he could have changed for the better and lived a stable life. He watched Jane Doe for a moment longer, her little fingers trying to wrap around his beard, Robby smiled as he set her down so carefully that his hands shook.
Or maybe that was just because he was scared now to leave... for his thoughts to be true and the Pitt really didn't need him... Robby swallowed a lump in his throat and made his way back outside, finally staring up at his Bike and waving to the ambulances that passed by him.
Robby couldn't have gotten much more than 30 minutes from the hospital, when he felt his phone buzz in his coat pocket. The only notifications he had on was for text messages and calls, he only had a few games on his phone and that included his favorite Candy Crush. He was sure it was either Dana or Jack checking up on him, maybe even Duke wanting to know how the bike was holding up. It could wait, wait till he stopped for gas, or hell even when he made it to the crappy motel he scouted to sleep at when he was checking out his maps.
Yes map, as in physical maps. He didn’t need or could use GPS if he was going to the middle of nowhere; no, he had memorized the route the old-fashioned way. Then his phone buzzed again... odd, they knew not to text him more than once after just sending something when Robby hadn't replied.
Maybe it was an odd pet peeve of Robby's but he didn't like his phone to have many notifications after he left work and just felt like he was harassed by noises and buzzing all day.
By the third buzz, he was 45 minutes from the hospital and pulled over at a gas station to figure it out. He was beyond annoyed, and couldn't even be gone for an hour before he was probably needed at the hospital. Only to open his phone and see a message from Dennis and two images attached, the annoyance fizzled out.
And he hesitated to open them, not because the messages might be something, but because they might be nothing. Another one of his guilts he might have been running away from, Dennis Whitaker... he was too damn old for him, probably did his residency before he was even born... not to mention the power imbalance... but feelings for Dennis had taken root dangerously close to his heart and he couldn't seem to fucking escape them.
So close to his heart he noticed the small changes, the longer hair, the muscles from a good diet, the way he smiles with those cute gapped teeth more proudly. Make Robby think things, dangerous things like retirement on a farm or also visiting family in Nebraska for a holiday... and the way Dennis always looked so happy to be around Robby... fucking hell he was asking to be put in his pocket and kept from the cruel world.
Everything about him seemed too good for Robby to ruin with his touch so he kept things at arm's length, no mistake Dennis could make would change how smitten Robby was and that scared him to no end. He had already ruined Langdon, he couldn't let Dennis get too close to his mess. Especially since he found out Dennis was probably with Amy or at least close enough Robby felt odd wanting to take that time...
Another buzz knocked him out of his spiral, another image, Robby checked the time it had been an hour and a half already since he left. Robby filled up his tank, went inside to grab a few snacks, then came that back out to face his fears. With a grunt Robby opened it, 'Hey Dr. Robby I wasn't sure when the right time to show you was but since I know you're probably awake I'll send it now. : )' Robby smiled at that, always thinking about others, even though he knows the boy should be in bed by now.
He looked through the images sent carefully 'Image from of the fireworks showing day shift on the roof' as much as Robby had never been one for loud noises, Dennis' photo was nice...
'Image of baby Theo tucked into Dennis's chest' Robby paused for a minute here, Dennis was a natural at caring for babies... he wished him luck, wished he could have started a family so young.
'Image of Dennis back with Trinity in one of Robby's jackets he kept on his chair at work.' Robby let out a groan at the sight, it probably wasn't meant to make Robby so... Enthusiastic, but it did. Knowing Dennis was still thinking of him even with Amy, even with his own life still going on. Robby wrote a quick reply before his fingers could betray his thoughts.
'Thanks for thinking about me. Have a good night Dr. Whitaker.' Robby put his phone back in his pocket, giving it a pat of good luck, and drove back off, the soft thumping in his head from stress had left him and been replaced by daydreaming about Dennis in just his jacket worrying over him... Now that's a sight to come back to... maybe in another life him and Dennis could have found something.
Robby had definitely broken a few speeding laws, by the time he got to Ohio and Indiana there was no one on the road. Just him and the open air for hours, but the sun was coming back up and he was getting tired, of course he had to inevitably stop. In a small town outside of Indianapolis, he made his way into his motel room. Nothing special, just a big enough bed to quickly get some sleep then continue his day of driving. Maybe stop to get a coffee nearby if he felt up for it.
Robby locked the door, checking it a few times before he felt satisfied with it. He took off his jacket and shoes, flopped onto the bed like a limp noodle, or more like an old horse trying to lie down but its back hurts. The mattress was stiff and scratchy but he was so tired, falling asleep almost immediately as his head hit the pillow.
But not before sending Dennis a good night text saying he made it safe, he just had to let him know he would hate for Dennis to be too worried. Even if a part of him liked the worry, the Pitt still needed to run well and it needed Dennis at his best. After this one last text, Robby would be completely off the grid for the rest of the trip. 'Made it to the motel. Sleep well.'
Robby didn't have a dream, or more like he didn't have a nightmare. He just slept in a space between sleep and rem, it was nice... he couldn't remember the last time his thoughts kept him updated or memories from the day stuck with him in sleep and tormented him. He must have been more tired than he thought, or maybe it was the little thought Dennis was thinking about him that made it nice.
He slept for a good 5 hours before he was up again, sweating from the too-thick blanket. Yet again he had a text from Dennis, Robby opened it with a breath.
'Have a good day Robby, tell me when you get to your destination! : )' Robby reread it about 5 times before he had to put his phone away and start riding again...
'Will do.' He liked just Robby, Dr., or his boss just Robby.
'I made it.' As much as Robby tried to keep short and sweet, not to look at his phone for too long, every new buzz from his phone dragged his eyes back and he couldn't look away from it. A bubbling feeling in his chest wouldn't go away and he only felt better when he read those texts from Dennis. Like butterflies in his stomach, Dennis had a way to crawl under his skin and stay there...
Not even Jack or Dana had texted him more than once a day even though he knows they are worried too. He's sure they know how much Dennis has been checking in on him, but he doesn't mind. Dennis has kept him updated with photos and brief messages. To which Robby always replies too even if he knows he should be off his phone and in nature. He wonders if Dennis would like it here, so slow and peaceful, he heard him talk about working at a rural hospital... Robby is starting to like that idea.
He could picture a big yard going for miles, filled with animals. Not just farm animals but old ones rescued from shelters to live out their lives in peace, just like in a story his Baba would tell him when he lost his first pet. 2 little kids running around and breathing fresh air without light pollution, a little boy and a girl, but he would love 2 of either of them.
And there's Dennis gardening in his free time when he comes home from work, that gapped-tooth smile beaming at him. Robby could retire, open up a mechanic shop, stay away from the rush of people and the life he didn't fit into anymore... he'd give up his left leg for that, or just take Jack's prosthetic as an offering.
Robby had been gone for a week now, he would take walks around the place, visiting protected sites and just watching the world pass. He thought he'd feel bad, just being there doing nothing as everything moved on... but he wasn’t doing nothing, he was living his life every second. Or at least that's when Dennis sent him with a weird-looking drawing of a hamster. Maybe he'd look into it more when he came back... hell when was he thinking about coming back?
Robby watched a little deer scurry across a large field. Following a herd of doe’s, the deer stopped and looked at him. Its eyes are large and soft, reminding him of the young doctors at the Pitt... Robby wondered if the deer knew he wasn't a threat and that's why it looked, or maybe he knew Robby was lonely. He took a photo and sent it to Dennis without thinking too hard.
'It's a nice morning' Robby found himself sending photos too now, of the nature, animals, or even the food he was eating. It was stupid, but it was like Dennis was with him in those moments when he could send photos. He would wait till Dennis had a break or woke up to reply and every quiet time without fail Robby smiled at it. He could almost see his scrunched up nose as he thinks of his texts, or the sounds of baby Theo in the photos where Dennis sends him mid laugh.
More often than not, Dennis would reply with a string of text now from good morning to good night, not afraid to be too pushy, sharing his own meal or photos of the farm now almost every few hours. Robby didn't care for the photos showing the LED lights inside the ED but he liked now seeing Dennis at the farm, in a similar area to him. His thoughts have gotten worse...
Late at night he would look at those photos of Dennis, so innocent and well natured in its intent to make Robby feel better, but he could close his eyes and see Dennis there on the bed with him... in only his jacket... he could practically feel the boy's cunt dripping onto hithat s fingers as he fingers him open, little t-dick twitching with every bump of the blunt pad of his fingers against his walls.
Robby's hand slips under the band of his boxers and he can already feel his dick leaking. Like a damn teenager seeing porn for the first time, but this was much different. This was fantasizing about his younger coworker and beating off to it. But Dennis wasn't here to know what he was doing...
Robby shifted his hips up and freed his dick from its confines of his briefs. It sprung free and slapped the soft layer of fat over his tummy, already leaking pre and twitching just from the images he was conjuring up of the sweet boy. Robby licked his lips, beginning to stroke himself slowly from hilt to his now red tip, god he hadn't gotten this worked up in a while... but Dennis always seemed to amaze him...
Dennis was holding Theo in a rocking chair outside, looking at the sun setting. It was still warm enough to do it even with a baby as young as him, and with every creaking noise from the chair a fit of giggles would come from the baby. Dennis smiled and cooed at him, holding him close to his chest as he checked his phone for the 5th time. Still no new messages from who he really wants to talk to, or maybe just to know they're okay.
The house was empty other than he and Theo, it was quiet not only because it was night, but Amy had gone out on a date. He made sure he had everything ready for Theo in the morning just in case she was out all night. But that wasn't what he was worried about, no he was waiting for the good night text from Robby he had expected a few minutes ago.
Not that Dennis didn't know Robby was a grown man and could handle himself, it was just that... Dennis had become dependent on the dopamine he got from seeing Robby, and without him around it was getting hard to focus on things... Maybe that's why he started helping on the farm so much to prepare himself for Robby's absence but it was harder than he thought.
Trinity and him had talked things out and he knows Trinity wants him as a roommate still. He's been making sure they have lots of movie nights, but seeing her with Al-hashimi makes the fact Robby is gone really stick. He wanted to beg him not to go but how could he do that if others couldn't? Others that have known him longer and are closer to him. Even though he knows his puppy eyes get him places.
But now that he could get some texts and photos it helped, he liked knowing Robby was doing good, eating properly. Maybe Dennis would make him a welcome home meal, Dennis did always like the slight tummy Robby had... his mom said you had to keep a man fat to make him stay. But Robby is like a skittish stray cat, Dennis can't get too close before he runs away. As much as he tries he can't get too close or he will scare him away.
But Robby is a day away from him now and he hopes the distance is also starting to get to Robby and he can convince him to call soon, just so Dennis could hear his voice...
'I'm heading to bed now Dennis, don't stay up too late with Theo, or you will both be cranky.' Dennis smiled at that, standing up he made his way inside and placed Theo down into his crib, tucking him in Dennis took a photo. It was dark but you could see the little blanket and toys in the crib, Dennis's tummy flipped. The more time he spent with the precious boy the more Dennis started thinking about wanting his own baby.
There was a time where he just wanted to run away from home and live without anyone, or more like he couldn't physically live with someone without panic setting in over his past. Maybe the only kids he'd take care of would be as a family doctor... But since he met the people in the ED and Trinity had let him live with her he's starting to get out of survival mode and see that maybe he does want a family.
'We are heading to bed now! Theo is all tucked in and I'm heading over to check on your house, good night Robby. : )' Dennis sent the photo of the sleeping baby and texted Amy he was heading out, locking all the doors and hopping into his shitty Kia.
Dennis liked Robby's house more than he'd like to admit. He imagined it to be a bachelor pad, maybe minimalist and cold looking, but it wasn't. It was filled with warm colors, and carpets with designs. Not just on the floor but on the back of chairs and couches. Plants and real candles he could light, reminded him of photos inside soviet issued apartments. The ones he learned about in his college history class he was mandated to take and now was very happy about.
He must have gotten his decorative taste from his grandparents... or even all the furniture, Dennis really wanted to know stories about them. He didn't know a lot about his family and he could guess why, they probably weren't the best people but he has only seen pictures of Robby with an old couple around the house. And a lot of them in black and white of a young couple in the snow, Robby probably was raised by his grandparents, Dennis figured.
Dennis had walked through the house watering all the plants, a task he took maybe too seriously. Robby had a few and Dennis was more than happy to help out with them. Learning about the type of plant and what it needs, adding more... Moving them to more proper spots with sunlight, checking on soil and watering at more appropriate times of the day then he's sure Robby could do when he's run so thin in the ED.
Dennis also liked the house because it smelled like Robby, not like a musk or anything just... warm? Dennis always thought of Robby as warm; his smile, his casual affection, and how he always knew what to say to make Dennis feel special. Dennis was enjoying the warmth, especially in his room, where Dennis had ventured in there a few times when he was missing Robby extra...
He wouldn't go as far as smelling his clothes, for now, but he did put them on... a sweater or t-shirt he's seen Robby wear before. He felt like he was in a hug, sometimes he cried a little worried Robby really would be gone for so long or even longer... Then he would lie on the bed and just be there for a few minutes, maybe an hour, just laying on the bed breathing in his scent. Just thinking of him... if he could have done something to make Robby stay... or to make him come back.
That's usually when he would text Robby the most, asking him how the place was, if he saw any cool plants... if he was missing them now... he never asked if he missed Dennis directly but it was implied in the way Dennis would type it out. And Dennis was only satisfied with the answer if Robby sent a photo of himself and an empty spot next to him meant to represent where he saved Dennis a spot next to him.
Trinity wouldn't even bat an eye now if Dennis came home still wearing one of his shirts. Dennis felt a little guilty for being so weird but if Robby didn't want his things touched he wouldn't have given Dennis a key...
Robby had been gone about 2 weeks now, a fraction of the time he took off really, but he had seen about everything there was to see in the area. He even started to drive out around mote parts of Canada to see if he could find a mouse to take a photo of for Dennis. And had given into calling Dennis, not just voice but video call as well when he was alone in his room or when he was put in the middle of nowhere with no one to judge the way he smiled at every word falling from Dennis's lips.
He wasn't quite sure when no phone, and short replies as proof of life turned into, answer every text from Dennis and call him at least once. But he couldn't stop now, the boy looked so happy showing him all the work he had done with his plants. Rambling on and on about some needing friends of the same family or some shit. All Robby cared about was Dennis making himself real comfortable in his home.
Fuck Robby missed his voice more then he needed air or water to live, just hearing him ramble about nothing was enough to make Robby forget why he needed a 3 month trip, why he even left in the first place. Dennis had called him at lunch a lot, as he could hear the ED in the background. Hearing people say hello to him like he was there, but never ask a question about work was nice.
On a special occasion he'd get to see Dennis holding Theo as he cooked something. Now that's what really got Robby going, he hoped Dennis couldn't see the hearts in his eyes as he watched the two intensely. He even met Amy probably during one of these cooking events, and he could see the way she interacted with Dennis. It seemed she only saw him as nice help and a free babysitter, nothing more than maybe a friend, and Robby was kinda relieved at that fact…
Now that he knows she's not a threat to taking Dennis away from him he doesn't mind him being there now. It also means when Robby got back he would probably ask the kid out on a date now... he's starting to feel brave after all these calls. It means less competition then Robby thought, he watched how Dennis curly hair started to cover his eyes as he cooked. Dennis fussed over it trying to get the hair out of his eyes but pushing it up before he gave up.
Grumbling about needing a hair cut soon, Robby retorted that he would shave his beard off if he got a hair cut without Robby being there. Robby wanted to take it back now realizing how possessive that sounded, but Dennis replied quickly. "If you cut your beard off Robby I might blow up your bike." Dennis said with a serious face, but he looked more like an angry mouse.
Robby let out a low laugh, surprised at Dennis sassy reply, but he had also come to want it more and more. "Let's not get too irrational now, pretty boy." The pet name slipped out and Robby paused an anxious feeling welling up again. God why the fuck couldn't he control himself right now, slipping up so much, he wasn't even drunk and he felt like his toung was heavy. Letting out all his thoughts like Dennis would just accept it...
"Don't try to sweet talk me over such a serious issue Robby, your beard is an important part of your old man look, next you'll tell me you want to get rid of the gray in your hair! Then we really will have problems." Dennis huffed out, setting the now fussy Theo down to play with some toys. Robby raised his eyebrow at Dennis's threats but on the inside he was buzzing to life.
Dennis's plan was working perfectly he thought, plan to get Robby back in Pittsburgh. Robby was trying to find a new purpose in life, so why not show him why he should be here? If Dennis had to prance around with a baby on his hip to lure that stupid old man back home then he would! Robby didn't know what was good for him, Dennis did obviously, that is why he was starting to wear Robby's shirts on the calls. Pretending to be innocent and not even mention it but he knows Robby recognizes the clothing.
Even got Trinity to text him that Dennis was really missing him. Dennis wanted to get Robby back within the week, a hard feat but he knew he could do it. He pulled out the big guns introducing him to Amy, he had coached her the night before just to be safe. But he knows Robby is about to crack, he can see it in his eyes, Dennis just has to think of one more thing then Robby will be riding home in no time but what...
Dennis had gone to the only person he thought would know, Jack Abbot. The same man who had tried to pay Duke $50 to break Robby's bike more, he would definitely know what to do to get him back. So, Dennis had asked him in the shift change what to do. "Just send him a naked photo in his bed and he'll be here in an hour." Jack said, straight faced, arms crossed casually crossed over his chest as he was looking up at the patient board in front of the nurses station.
Dennis couldn't even be shocked, honestly he kinda expected that advice, Jack was always a straight forward person... but it's not like Dennis could actually do that, what if it freaked out Robby more? Then he definitely wouldn't come back, Dennis felt like he was already being too pushy at times. Dennis might be just misinterpreting Robby's actions... or he just needed to try one last thing to see if his stupid old man would come back home.
Dennis did eventually give into the curiosity and did it, he stripped down bare, and sat on Robby's bed. The scars on his chest were fully healed now from his top surgery but he was still insecure about it... it wasn't a pretty sight or an attractive one to say the least. But before he could back out of it he took a photo and sent it to Robby, his face flushed and all. The angle wasn't good, it was kinda blurry and Dennis looked all blotchy from.his blush but he sent it.
Robby opened it up almost immediately Dennis watched his eyes glued to his screen like a train wreck he couldn't look away from... Robby started to type then stopped for a second before starting to type again. This repeated a few times before he finally got a reply from Robby.
'Leave the front door unlocked.' With an image of Robby's very pronounced tent in his pants. Dennis let out an excited giggle, or maybe a nervous one. Not expecting Robby to have liked the crappy photo that much... Dennis hurried and unlocked the door before texting Trinity that he will be staying the night at Robby's house.
'Get that old man dick Faggleberry, don't come home before noon tomorrow, love you.' Dennis rolled his eyes and hearted the message. He doubted Robby would be here even tomorrow but it's the thought that counts. He also knows Al-hashimi is probably over there right now and that's why she doesn't want him home too early.
What Dennis didn't know was Robby had broken earlier that day and started riding home. It was going to be a surprise, a show that Dennis was that important to him. He just couldn't take it, the boy was practically using navy seal torture on him to get him home. What was he supposed to do but give in and figure it out from there? But then he got the photo of Dennis, fuck he looked good enoght to dight a war and come back to him.
He used the photo as reassurance he was making the right idea coming back. Motivation if you would, to get over all the shit in his head and focus on the moment. Focus on what was right in front of his face the last 10 months and he only realized after leaving and seeing how much the boy missed him...
Dennis had fallen asleep on the bed around 1 in the morning, still naked, wrapped in Robby's bed sheets. And that's how Robby had found him, his motorcycle was just parked and he hadn't taken off his shoes, he just wanted to see if Dennis was there... and there he was Dennis, looking like the only thing that could save someone as râshâ as himself. Robby stripped down carefully, watching the sleeping boy with a warmth that he was surprised didn't wake him up.
Robby had been sporting a hard on for the last half of his ride, he was tried too, So this wouldn't take long. Robby climbed onto the bed, his weight causing the mattress to dip, finally making Dennis wake up. Dennis blinked slowly a few times, and had a soft pout on his face of confusion as his eyes adjusted to the dark. "Sorry for waking you up sweet boy, you can go back to bed real soon after this." Robby moved behind Dennis, spooning him.
Pulling Dennis into his chest he reached around to feel his wet cunt, slick already, and his sensitive dick was almost twitching. "Always so good for me, I'm sorry I didn't realize it before puppy..." Robby's middle finger sunk into his tight walls, causing Dennis to let out a squeaky whine and tuck his face into a pillow. Robby kisses Dennis shoulder, soothing him, his other hand played with his nipples, carefully caressing the scars lining his chest. Making Dennis shake and cry out at the sensation of his sensitive nipples being played with.
"Robby... please... I need you..." Dennis pleaded, pushing his hips back against Robby's, feeling Robby leaking between their bodies. Dennis's back fit perfectly against the soft fat over Robby's stomach. Robby shushed him softly adding a second finger scissoring him open with his thumb rubbed at his dick. Robby's own neglected dick was leaking against Dennis's ass, tip red and aching. "I'm yours Dennis... all your's." Robby mumbled into Dennis's neck.
He removed his fingers and Dennis shivered from the loss, Robby lifted one of Dennis's legs slightly, just enough to where he could start poking his tip at Dennis's entrance and take the pressure off his hips. "Deep breathing now puppy, don't get too tense on me now or it will hurt." Dennis nodded and tried to relax into Robby's hands, feeling himself being handled with such affection was so nice... Dennis let out a soft yawn.
It took some patience but Robby slowly sank into Dennis, inch by inch until he could feel the boy's juices dripping down his balls. Dennis's eyes rolled back into his head. Robby bottomed out and let out a sigh of pure satisfaction, nipping at Dennis's neck till he left marks. "Thats it baby, nice and easy now..." Robby rocked his hips in a low lazy manner, lulling Dennis.
With each deep thrust of his hips Dennis squeezed tighter, squirming as his body tried to fall asleep. But the pleasure of it was keeping him awake. The long drag against his walls, the way Robby's dick rubbed just the right spot to make his legs shake. Robby let out soft grunts and moans, as his balls drew tight, he had been wanting this for so long... no had been needing this for so long. "In the morning we can talk it all over, just give into it tonight."
He held Dennis's hand in his, lacing their fingers together as Dennis came with a mewl, drooling against the pillow, his eyes fluttering shut. Robby followed quickly, pumping Dennis full of cum without a second thought.
"All that time helping out someone else's baby, you deserve one of your own.”
Tw: angst around separation, obsessive behavior, possessive behavior, dubious content? Dennis and Robby still love each other :3
The marriage was great, Robby did his best, and Dennis called him out when he would get defensive and close off. And damn did Robby change for the better, Dennis couldn't get off of him most days. There was love, there was security, and Dennis felt that he and Robby were on the same page.
It lasted 5 years before it ended. It was simple, Dennis got a job at a rural hospital and Robby couldn't leave the Pitt. Said he tried but no one knew it like him, no one could handle his job and all the chaos it required. Told him that he can't stay and that Dennis was happy here so why leave?
So Dennis left anyway. It wasn't easy, and he pushed back his new job for months until he just couldn't compromise and handed Robby the papers. Or more like left them on the table with his ring and left in the middle of the night with his things. It was the only way he could leave... Robby would try to make him stay.
Dennis still loved him. Hell, he even planned on adapting soon but obviously, this wouldn't work out and he can't let someone keep him from his dreams.
Robby was a mess after all of Dennis's things were gone, not angry, just lonely... sat in their bedroom for a whole day not answering anyone. Everything felt cold and empty without him, Dennis lives 3 hours away but it felt like an ocean. He couldn't believe he actually let Dennis go... Jack worried this was going to tip things over. Even sat outside his house to watch just in case.
Only for Robby to storm up to him and demand the game plan. There was a heat in Robby's eyes he hadn’t seen since he told Jack he would ask Dennis on a date. How can he get Dennis back? How can he prove that Dennis didn't waste 5 years on him? How can Dennis see that he can't get away with running away so easily?
Jack didn't know if he should be relieved about him or scared of Robby right now... but he wouldn't let Robby do it alone, so he walked into the house after Robby. Ready to listen to all the man's ideas and hopefully not let him do anything too crazy. But who was he kidding, they were cut from the same cloth when it came to possessive behavior...
It started small, Robby requesting fewer hours and interviewing new people for his job, of course, Jack and Al-hashimi would vet them. Trinity thought he had gone mad, called Dennis to tell him and Dennis almost caved but stood strong that it wasn't his business now... even if he wondered if this was because of him. But he had asked him to retire and he didn't, so why would he change his mind?
Then Robby started showing up at Dennis's new house, but he wouldn't say how he got the address. Saying instead he wanted to make sure everything was safe. Dennis almost laughed him off, but he knew Robby wouldn't leave till he let him check. The stubborn bastard he was.
Dennis in all his years had never seen Robby fix a loose floor board or check a fire alarm. He especially never saw him move a fridge to check the pipes. Though he supposed Robby had always let Dennis do it because he enjoyed the work... but he had been so tired from the move and learning to sleep alone he had ignored the issues in the home.
But Robby hadn't, he spent the whole day inspecting before he dreamed it decent enough. Dennis had made him lunch and shooed him out before dinner. Not letting him stay the night. He didn't know if he could stay strong if he did... he needed to remember why they split up in the first place.
Robby only agreed to leave because he set up every camera he had while fixing some things up. He couldn't let his sweet Dennis go out here all alone without him. Until he could move out here too he needed to keep an eye on him.
Of course, Dennis found them a week later, the blinking light wasn't hidden. And wanted to smash them all, how invasive! How disgusting of Robby to just put them there without asking! He was about to reach for the first one...
Then he thought about it some more... Maybe he could use them for a bit, let Robby adapt to the change, and then ask him to remove them... it did make Dennis feel safe. And Robby was never good with change... it wouldn't be all that bad.
Not that Dennis was much better, he had almost all of the day shift sending him updates, not on Robby specifically, but they mentioned him sometimes... and when Jack would send him cute photos of Robby and he would save them was just because he thought the photos were nice.
When Robby texted he kept things short and casual, but he reread them at night thinking of him as he snuggled up in his too-big bed. Listening back to voice messages... usually unprompted messages of Robby jerking off whispering Dennis's name. Dennis never responded to them but he watched...
He thought going on dates would fix the hole in his chest, but Robby would always call in the middle and Dennis would pick up to tell him to fuck off. Only for Robby to call again 10 minutes later. Every time he explained who it was, his date would get clammy and leave. To which Robby would get a drunken earful when Dennis got home and drank whatever he had in the cupboard.
Robby after months of interviews and watching how they interacted with everyone, found his replacement, she was perfect. And her intensive background check was the icing on top. He put in his two weeks and told Trinity to tell Dennis he was on his way.
Dennis scoffed at the thought, no way. Robby? Retire? He didn't think the man could sit down that long without losing his mind. And what would he do when he got here? Dennis didn't want him back. He had his choice; it was too late to fix it. He had even flipped off a camera, telling Robby to stay away.
Robby, as he promised, showed up, with a little piglet in his arm. Dennis cooed at the little creature but glared at Robby, not opening the door enough to let him in.
"I'll take the pig, but you can go." Robby smiled at him, with those soft eyes only for Dennis. Then shoved his way into the home, letting the pig down as he cornered Dennis.
"No baby, I'm coming in, how could I not cook my husband a meal after months of being gone? I'm here for good now baby. I won't be stupid enough to let you think you can run away again, I'll get the papers fixed in the morning, don't worry... You got a new job to be worried about."
How could Dennis say no to his husband… especially as he put a ring back on his hand kissing it softly. "I thought it was cute you thought you could get far, but I bugged your car. And seeing as you adore it here I suppose we can stay here... the perfect retirement, hm?" Robby asked mockingly.
